I was glad Billy Crystal turned up. Guy still knows how to work a room.

I think once i know how they plan to execute all these concepts then I will be more excited. I was so overly excited for Peter Pan Neverland Adventure at TDS while well done, it didn't meet my expectations when i actually rode it.
But out of all of them Villians Land has me most interested as well as Avatar on the west coast.

Just remember Josh D’Amaro said these rides are in development, just like Marie Poppins was and the theater at MK...
Yes, but do you know how much cool stuff was announced at D23 2017 and almost all got built except those two things. It's just funny to me that those two always get brought up from a convention that went bonkers like this one did and literally everything major got built.
Look back to the over hyped "Disney Decade" if you remember that...
It's great to be excited and we are all happy Disney is doing something besides some reskins but just a friendly warning.
I know all about the Disney Decade but like, read the room lol.
Sure maybe some stuff might get cancelled (I can imagine this happening to Stark Flight Labs for example), but the Disney Decade is the last thing I’m thinking about just hours after getting the announcements we got.
If something gets cancelled we’ll talk about it then but for now, just one day, let’s be happy.
Something I just realized, they did not announce a new hotel/DVC during the event, this really might be a new Era 
For WDW most have to happen due to the deal with the FL state government but i think the only way they will not happen at the other parks is if there is a significant financial crisis....

Wow happily surprised by the number of concrete announcements! The Cars attraction looks dope as it combines one of my fav rides (RSR) with what looks like an arts & crafts style! Love it. You can see how each announcement tries to tackle a part of Epic Universe and other Universal additions. Very excited for the next 6 years.
Don't forget Play Pavilion, SSE redo, and the new China film. Disney has a long history of announcing then cancelling plans.

Yeah, I know these are just “in development” and if the company crashes and burns financially (which I mean, they already are crashing) then we may not see certain things.
But when you announce 20 things at once like this you put yourself at risk for that to happen and they know it. We all know it too, I just think it’s pointless to discuss until it happens.

This is what I think is way more realistic to think about at the current moment. See that amazing Villains Land concept art? Imagine it with like 30% less rock work and don’t at all expect that that coaster that looks like an RMC is for real yet.
I feel like Disney ate Epic Universe’s lunch here. Just personal preference for what was presented. Going to get interesting in Orlando the next few years

This has a nice roundup of dates, but be aware this is a mixture of “construction starting” and “debuting” with a little bit of “coming soon” mixed in.

D23 Announcements | Disney Parks Blog
If you can believe it, we just wrapped up almost 50 announcements during the Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase at the Honda Center during D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event for 2024. And these aren’t just blue sky announcements for some time, somewhere down the road. No, these are things...
